“More than 900 people from 150 organizations gathered in Ciduad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, for the first Border Social Forum. The BSF took place on the Mexico-US border with the backdrop of millions of migrants mobilizing in the US for full rights and increasing militarization after President GW Bush Jr’s recent assignment of over 6,000 military troops of the National Guard to “secure” the border. Since the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Ciudad Juarez has become the Mexican border city with the most maquiladora factories. The systemic violence of neoliberal globalization has manifested locally in an epidemic of femicide, as hundreds of poor young women have been brutally raped and murdered in Ciudad Juarez since 1993.”
